A few years ago a friend and I were walking along Lake Butte des Morts and found a piece of driftwood- I had it mounted on a metal stand that was originally used to hold up a mannequin. I've mainly hung air plants and orchids on it, as you can see in the last picture, but today I've switched it up with this #staghornfern
This took a little finagling- the opening at the top of the driftwood isn't suited to house a permanent plant so I came up with a solution I'm quite proud of 🤓
I stuffed a mesh produce sack, a small one that had baby potatoes in it, with a combination of bark and peat moss and then began the somewhat tedious task of filling the holes with moss (progress shot- photo #4 ) so the substrate meant for the roots to eventually grow into wouldn't fall out. The end result was pleasantly surprising and I think pretty sustainable.
Now here's hoping the staghorn survives all the poking, proding and stuffing🤞🏻
